2:25 Newcastle – BetMGM All-Weather 3 Year Old Championships Handicap Cl2 (3yo) 6f

At 2:25, keep an eye out for Sommelier, a progressive contender who showcased promise with victories in 2 out of 3 starts in novice/maiden company on the all-weather surface last year. Transitioning to handicap company, Sommelier continued to impress, securing a very commendable ½-length second place of 10 runners to Blue Prince in a C&D handicap back in January. With a 4 lb advantage over that rival in this race, Sommelier emerges as a strong player with the potential for further improvement

With this recent success under his belt, Borgi is expected to give another strong performance in this race at Lingfield

3:00 Newcastle – BetMGM Fillies’ And Mares’ Championships Handicap Cl2 (4yo+) 7f

In the 3:00 race, keep an eye on Wild Side (IRE), who boasted an impressive record last year with four wins from eight runs. Her most recent victory came at Southwell over 1m in December.  Wild Side managed a respectable 2½ lengths third place out of 8 runners to Shades of Summer in a handicap at the same C&D 88 days ago, although she wasn’t ideally positioned. This suggests that there may be more to come from her on the all-weather surface, making her one to watch closely in this Fillies’ And Mares’ Championships Handicap Cl2 (4yo+) over 7f.

3:15 Lingfield – BetUK All-Weather Vase Marathon Handicap Cl3 (4yo+ 0-90) 2m

As a course winner, Bascule has previously demonstrated his ability on this track. Although it has been eleven runs since his last victory in 2021, Bascule remains a competitive contender. Priced at 7/2, he finished fourth out of 7 in a handicap at Kempton over 16f just 16 days ago. With that recent outing likely to have sharpened his fitness, and considering the stable’s current excellent form, Bascule is poised to put in a strong performance in this race.

With two wins from six runs last year, Cover Up showcased his potential. Priced at 5/6, he delivered a career-best performance recently, clinching victory in an 8-runner handicap at this course over 5f just 36 days ago. He drew clear to secure the win convincingly. Although the assessor has adjusted his rating accordingly, Cover Up hails from a leading yard and is expected to perform well in his attempt to maintain a perfect record of 4-4 on the all-weather surface.

3:50 Lingfield – BetUK All-Weather Vase Sprint Handicap Cl3 (4yo+ 0-90) 6f

Intervention, a course and distance winner, enters the fray in the upcoming race. With four victories from 20 runs last year, Intervention has shown promise. Despite finishing eighth out of 11 in a handicap at Wolverhampton over 7.2f just 13 days ago, Intervention is equipped with cheekpieces once again for this race. This change in equipment suggests a potential boost in performance. Keep an eye on Intervention as he strives to bounce back and showcase his winning form once more.

4:10 Newcastle – BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap Cl2 (4yo+) 1m2f

Keep an eye on Sir Busker (IRE) in the 4:10 race. While he hasn’t secured a victory since winning the Group 2 York Stakes in 2022, Sir Busker has been putting in respectable performances on the all-weather surface in recent months. In his most recent outing, he finished sixth out of 11 runners in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton over 8.6f just 20 days ago, showing a strong finish. Despite the lack of recent wins, Sir Busker is anticipated to deliver another solid performance and should give a good account of himself in this BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap Cl2 (4yo+) over 1m2f.

4:40 Newcastle – BetMGM All-Weather Championships Mile Handicap Cl2 (4yo+) 1m

Despite finishing fifth of 7 to Hooking in a listed race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 8f 47 days ago, where he weakened in the final 1f, Tempus has shown promise. His previous fourth place finish behind Dear My Friend over the same course and distance was a creditable effort. Additionally, the handicapper has eased his rating ahead of this race, indicating a potential opportunity for Tempus to bounce back to winning ways.
